double-click from Finder doesn't open DITA files
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2017 7:44 pm
Hi
I've got Oxygen Author running on OS X Sierra, and - according to Finder - DITA files are associated with Oxygen Author
Here's the behavior I'm noticing
[Let's assume I've got two files on my desktop: file1.dita and file2.dita]
1. Oxygen Author is not running
2. I navigate to file1.dita in Finder and double-click it; Oxygen Author opens and loads file1.dita
3. When finished with file1.dita, I save and close THE FILE (Command+W), but leave Oxygen running
4. I go back to Finder and double click any DITA file (file1.dita or file2.dita)
5. Nothing happens
6. If I quit Oxygen at this point, it re-opens itself right away, and loads the second file from Step 4
ANOTHER SCENARIO:
1. Oxygen Author is not running
2. I navigate to file1.dita in Finder and double-click it; Oxygen Author opens and loads file1.dita
3. With file1.dita still open in Oxygen, I go back to Finder and double-click file2.dita. Nothing happens
4. If I quit Oxygen at this point, it re-opens itself right away, and loads both file1.dita and file2.dita
I know that Oxygen loaded multiple DITA files when dbl-clicking .dita files from Explorer in Windows, so am I missing a Preference setting or something?
It's probably worth mentioning that when Oxygen is running, I see a spinning gear icon in the menu bar... When I click it, I see "Oxygen XML Author, 0% completed (Run shell s...)" [the last part runs out of pop-up space, but presumably it says "Run shell script"]
thanks
Steve
